What chance a debut for Keeler?

 

[StFly]

What chance a debut for Keeler?

Almost zero.

I rate him, but he be very raw and very slight and we'd be in very much trouble if he were to get a call up.

Almost zero.

I rate him, but he be very raw and very slight and we'd be in very much trouble if he were to get a call up.

And you feel it would be at the expense of Schoey.

Defence is humming at the moment. Who's going out if not for injury?

 

[Remboy]

Greetings you lot. I come in a reasonable amount of peace.
Any news on B.Crouch? Is he a chance at all this year?
Asking for a mate

He and Windy will be back for finals.

Regardless of what happens for the rest of the season I can't see us bridging the gap between us and Hawks, lock in pick 5. Beat Adelaide and improve our second rounders. Win/Win

Hope not, I do see a realm of possibility where we jump them, at least on percentage. Just gonna have to sit back and enjoy the ride, I suppose

Crows could have beaten Lions at the Gabba had a few things gone their way. We could have beaten Lions at the Gabba had a few things gone our way.

So it’s pretty evenly matched - except we play Crows on their home deck - where they tend to grow a leg and we tend to lose a leg.

Crows comfortably if they have their kicking boots on.

I can’t see the point of binging Paton or Seb in for Windy . Let’s have another look at Garcia - even if it’s as the sub.

I've had a re-think after a few comments from here. And actually forgot that Dow may be avail. this game.
So, only one forced change this week, will most likely be Dow for Windy.
Would prefer Garcia.

 

[BrutThough]

Out - Windy
In - Dow. If Dow isnt right, then give Garcia a go.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

What was evident for me last game, was that we took more risks going forward, especially after half-time & things paid off because of it. And all our backman had high DE. And also, that game from The Pou, was extraordinary.

 

[kakkapo]

Maybe Max Hall comes in for Windy?

 

[Palantine]

I thought Paton did a job down back when he came on and seemed to release Hunter a little more in the middle so may not be a surprise if this remains as is.

Maybe not

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Do we know if Dow's fit for selection this week? Reckon they'll go with Paton for Windy and maybe Dow sub.

 

[Saintbloke]

Paton is too good for the VFL and should stay in for Windy. Did Membrey do enough to hold his spot in the forward half?

Yes was a strong physical presence. Allowed others into the game.

The question on Membrey is what is the alternative? A Sharman/Membrey combo forward at least looked relatively agile.

 

[yeahfells]

Maybe not

Not sure I understand people’s reluctance to Max playing. Surely him pushing for selection is a good thing…? Would love to see him come in and play well

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I was stunned when i saw how few stats Membrey generated.
To me his physical presence around the ball was huge.
He also did a lot of tapping the groundball to teammates, ( rather than grabbing it and getting immediately tackled ), which i don't think generates a stat.

Whatever happened to the stock standard 2-3 week hammy injuries? Ours always seem to be 5 to 6 week jobs.

I blame Hanners.

I blame Hanners.

I don't think 2 weeks was ever the standard for a hammy.
Typically more like 4 weeks.

 

[The Punter]

Hamstrings have historically been poorly treated in our game.

In other sports it's generally a longer layoff depending on severity.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

I stated that about Membrey too, but was firmly put in my place on here haha. No one really to replace him either, maybe Heath.

 

[Tyrian Lonestar]

The match a week after a Saints traditional mid season Grand Final win over the top team is an absolute banana skin game.

The battle for pick 4 or 5 is on!

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Would think that there are a few kids who could debut ahead of Hall at the minute, but I suppose it depends on position need. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing Hall, Heath & Keeler all get a debut, before the season is done.

The 2 that spring to mind are Hall and Garcia if we are talking midfield. Obviously Dow is the current player holding a spot but if you want to “try out” someone that’s who I’d be looking at.
